How To Change The Blades On Andis Clippers

[things_needed_1]

Unplug your Andis clippers from the wall outlet and lay them on a flat surface with the blades facing up.

Remove the two screws holding the blades to the clippers with a Phillips screwdriver, turning the screws counterclockwise.

Take the old blades from the Andis clippers and install the replacement blades onto the clippers. Line up the screw holes on the blades with the screw hole openings on the clippers. If your clippers are equipped with an armature pin that is raised on the body of the clipper, make sure the yoke on the back of the replacement blades lines up with the armature pin.

Replace the two screws into the replacement blades and clippers. Tighten the screws on the clippers and blades, turning them clockwise.
